Yeah, just a plainer version, still a lot nicer action than Remington's ADL SPS with the rough finish.

Yup, the 78 actions I have are smoother working than what Remington produces now.

I built a faux Ti with one a few years back. Not only is the action better than newer stuff, but the trigger is mucho better too.
Politicians and Diapers both need to be changed often, and for the same reason!

Thanks guys, I have a chance at one, fairly reasonable. Was gonna use it for a build but wanted to make sure it would work.

Had one of those years ago in 30-06 i wish i never sold it.It was the same action and barrel it just wasn't polished,kinda like a matte finish.The stock was an ADL hardwood instead of walnut.I believe it was only offered in 2 calibers 30-06 & 270.I paid $259 for the gun.And yes i also believe it was nicer than my SPS 700 that i currently own!

Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

I've had the Sportsman 78 in 243 and 30-06, Good rifles. Just a plain birch stocked ADL 700.
